Understanding the process of waterproofing Toilets

Waterproofing of toilets is highly recommended for renovating any construction projects to prevent water damages and save it for longer periods. At Firstchoice Speciality Chemicals Pvt.Ltd, we take care of toilets,wet area or other renovation projects such as repairing tunnels, basements by maintaining SOPs while working on any construction site. It is recommended that waterproof toilets are not only for preventing water leakage but also to save the construction wall because the wall is the foundation that holds the key for it. In this blog, we are going to understand the process of waterproofing toilets by using Waterproofing materials, techniques and application to protect from water damages.

Waterproofing process of Toilets

Waterproofing of any object starts from cleaning the surface for obtaining desired adhesion. To ensure water protection to toilets, It is recommended using a proper cleaning mixture to remove dirt, oil, grease and other harmful substances present within it. Then the surface should be allowed to dry after washing it for 12-24 hours.
Once the surface cleaning is done, treatment in between the floor junction should take place to prevent water seepage. To make it sturdy and water- resistant, First Choice Speciality chemical has CEMBOND SBR available in the B2C channel that helps to prepare a slurry to fill the joint. At FCSC, we took a lot of pride in this product because of its availability, acceptance within our client base. Application of mixture can be done by using ideal mortar whether it is polymer or non- polymer modified for filling the construction joints. However, right selection of mortar may give better abrasion resistance and cohesiveness to the defined areas for waterproofing.
In the third step of toilet Waterproofing, pressure Grouting should be performed to fill any voids and cracks within concrete. At FCSC we have CEMGROUT AD available over the B2B channel. Our clients find CEMGROUT AD a highly active admixture for making Cementitious grouts to maintain positive expansion. However, Grouting can be done in bed, duct and any other non- shrink infilling and construction joints. Key application of performing pressure Grouting here is to ensure the foundation of the structure is strong and provides sturdiness to the toilet walls.
In the fourth step, it is recommended using a primer coating system for waterproofing after Completion of surface preparation. It should be applied in two coats. For these coats, we at First Choice Speciality chemical have CEMOCOAT AR, available in B2C channel that is applied over the surface with an ideal instrument. It will take 8-10 hours of drying of the first coat unless it becomes wet and easily removed from the surface. Our main objective is to maintain the same ratios and ingredients is to avoid any chemical disputes over the walls to weaken its capabilities. Apart from that, we also have acrylic and Elastomeric waterproofing coating which can be significantly beneficial for toilets. Both have been recognised for better adhesion, cohesiveness and stress reducing factors influencing walls resistance from water or other damages.
After successful completion of coating, in the final inspection it is important to check any missing spots in the toilet surface whether it's on the wall or floors. After identifying any gaps, it is recommended making necessary changes at the wet stage to ensure complete coverage. Later, it’s recommended keeping the concrete surface for drying up-to 2-4 days before exposing it to the water. It can be obtained as prevention of cracking and also can be long-lasting.

Conclusion Overall, waterproofing of toilets has been a significant step to ensure its longevity. Following the process, we have given a glimpse of our works related to waterproofing systems and other techniques we apply to protect the toilet from any damages. We have demonstrated the general uses of high- quality material like Cembond SBR, Cemocoat AR, Elastocem, Cemgrout AD for increasing concrete effectiveness.
